RAW OPERATIVES FOUND IN QUETTA BLAST: ASWJ/LEJ/JAMAAT UL AHRAR/ISIS (Two Sides of a Coin)

A Pakistani Taliban faction and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) have both claimed responsibility for a suicide attack at a hospital in Quetta that killed at least 70 people with scores injured.

The blast took place in the emergency ward of the hospital where a group of lawyers were mourning the death of Balochistan Bar Council President, targeted a few minutes back in the streets of Quetta.

“The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan Jamaat-ur-Ahrar takes responsibility for this attack, and pledges to continue carrying out such attacks. We will release a video report on this soon,” the group’s spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan said in an email.

ISIL, which is also known as ISIS, also claimed responsibility for the attack.

“A martyr from the Islamic State [of Iraq and the Levant] detonated his explosive belt at a gathering of justice ministry employees and Pakistani policemen in the city of Quetta,” the armed group’s Amaq website said.

On the other hand Balochistan Chief Minister Sanaullah Zehri told local TV journalists that Indian intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) was behind terror incidents in Quetta and he has evidences which he will provide to the Prime Minister himself.

While talking to a skeptic, shiite news representative learnt that lest it be any organization, names don’t matter. RAW have no place in Pakistan and would not be sending down its operatives to cause havoc. They not only employ locals but as well make assets for the days to come. It is a established fact that RAW has infiltrated into our homeland, as security agencies point out often of their involvement in the region.

A law enforcing officer in Quetta confirmed that RAW is no ground reality, but a name with assets all around the province. They not only support financially but militarily through arms and ammunition. The organizations already present in the vicinity carry out activities under their pseudonym. Currently, he claims, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (all factions) are getting their support from across the border. They have allegiance with not only RAW but ISIS (Daesh) as well.

He alleged that the claims are right by both banned outfits, as both are one or the same. He confirmed that TTP in Balochistan is RAW, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and AQIS in Sindh is RAW, Sipah Sahaba in Punjab is RAW and so on and so forth.

A number of times the security agencies have reported that former Sipah Sahaba Pakistan currently Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat (ASWJ) is the main recruiter for militants in Pakistan should it be for Taliban, LeJ, Jamaat ul Ahrar, al-Qaeda, or any other banned terrorist faction.
